Abstract:

Manures enrich the soil and nutrients used by crops. The word “Manure” most often refers to any kind of fertilizers. The benefit of using green manure by organic farmers (and other farmers) is that, it adds organic matter to the soil by releasing important plant nutrients, including nitrogen and helps to increase crop yield. Thus, the use of manures that supply nutrients to the soil is needed for plant growth. An experiment was conducted to study the influence of chemical fertilizers (DAP and superphosphate) and leaf extracts (Ocimum basilicum and Lantana camara) singly and in combination on the germination, growth and yield parameters of black gram (Vigna mungo L.). The effect of chemical fertilizer and leaf extracts on the seed germination of black gram was recorded and higher germination percentage was noticed in T5 (Ocimum basilicum and Lantana camara). The yield parameters also increased when combination of chemical fretilizers and herbal extracts were used.
